Like that you made a name plate as well. Turned out really nice. Certainly worthy of a frame! Well done!

I always wanted a woodshop … and the Glowforge only makes me want one more! We did buy a router last weekend, and gave that a go. Pretty cool!

Ok Im super new to this… what is a 3d engrave? And how do I try it out!?

I’m pretty sure you could label this photo with the name of pretty much ANY small Texas town in the 1970s (especially if the name of the dry goods store was obscured a little), and even people who lived there wouldn’t know any better. :wink:
